Just bought a Kentucky KM-250-S with the dark brown stain
today at Acoustic Music works here in Pittsburgh.Great
service from I believe Steve the owner.Steve put me a front
strap button on the heel,Does anyone make a strap for this ? Will I have to use a guitar strap ? The standard F-
model straps have a loop for the scroll,and the A-stlye straps have two loose ties for the neck I need a strap
with two cuts for the front and back button.
Levy makes a perfect double holed strap that I use on my Eastman A and my Mid-Mo. It's adjustable with leather holding "buckles". about $15 too. Comes in several colors as well.

I use variously a leather bootlace, a similar lace in woven kevlar (I think that's what it is: like 1/8" parachute cord), and have even used regular lamp cord pulled apart to one strand. A's don't weigh much! They don't need the same kind of strap you need for a P-bass or a Les Paul.
I'll second the Levy strap...I also have them on several A's of various sizes (A-9, Kawalek kit flat-top, Stew-Mac Campfire kit) and they fit and work quite well for me. Mine came from Stew-Mac and Elderly.

Braid three 72 inch boot laces together. I've done this alot and it works just fine.

Loren Bailey (of "The Bailey Strap" fame) should be able to make you one that would do the trick. His straps are custom made for each person/instrument.
